uTouchPOS has partnered with North America's leading payment processing companies: First Data Independent Sales and Mercury Payment Systems to offer a complete uTouchPOS point of sale system for $299.

With their plug and play out of the box solution uTouchPOS offers a $299 "Business Starter Bundle" - A complete point of sale solution that includes a cash drawer, thermal receipt printer, barcode scanner, credit card reader and a choice of point of sale software for retail, restaurant, beauty salon, grocery or golf/arcade.

It doesn't include a computer or a monitor, but that's because they are easy enough to find, and most businesses already have one on hand.

Once a client downloads the www.uTouchPOS.com pos application, they plug in the credit card reader, receipt printer, upc barcode scanner and cash drawer. uTouchPOS certified technicians can then be given access by the client to connect to the business remotely and provide 2 hours of desktop training and setup.

Within hours the client is ready to enter their inventory, menu of products and services into the system and begin sales and payment processing.

With local installation training and support technicians in 290 cities in North America, uTouchPOS offers onsite training and support to businesses that require additional support.
